The Jerusalem Post reports: Jerusalem auction house Kedem Auction is slated to reveal some very rare images on Tuesday to enthusiastic bidders. The pictures in question, which were never exposed to the public before, depict Mutfi Hag Amin al-Husseini visiting an unidentified German camp and are dated back to sometime between 1942 and 1943.

In the pictures the Muslim leader, who presided over what was known as ‘Palestine’ during the rule of the British Mandate, can be seen touring the grounds of a Nazi camp in Europe. He is flanked by high-ranking Nazi officials dressed in official attire.

Some of the photographs even show prisoners of the unnamed camp line up in formation to honor the mufti, who served in his position from 1921 to 1937. According to the Kedem Auction House, the importance of releasing the images lies in the fact that viewers might be able to help identify some of the people seen in them.
